Chapter 1836


    Arabe heard their words and her lips curled into a smile. "I really have no intention to y the hero."


    "We don''t need his pathetic clues. What if all the important information on that phone has been wiped


    clean? We could be saving Serena for nothing." Sean was nobody’s fool, and he certainly wasn''t about


    to let his sister exhaust herself helping someone who didn’t deserve it.


    Given Martin''s character, he wouldn''t do anything to betray Serena, but he was acutely aware that only


    that cellphone could potentially save her life.


    Chances were, he''d have taken a good look through Erik''s phone, memorized the important stuff,


    deleted it, and then handed over a practically useless phone to them.


    It would be nothing more than acting out a formality.


    It was therefore better not to bother at all.

    "But what if Erik didn’t die by his own hand, but forced by someone pulling the strings? What does that


    tell us?"


    As soon as Hans finished his question, Keh and Louisa said in unison, "It means the puppet


    master is getting antsy!"


    He was rushing to get rid of Erik.


    And when people rush, they tend to slip up.


    Hans nodded, "That''s why Be had the servants continue to guard Erik, to keep his death under


    wraps, away from prying eyes. If the puppet master wanted Erik dead, and Erik wasn''t dead, they''d


    surely send someone to see what''s up, likely to tie up loose ends."


    Louisa hadn''t expected her darling daughter to have already devised a n to trap the mastermind, to


    instruct the servants to keep quiet, nor to have analyzed the situation so logically, instantly enlightening


    them to the bigger picture.


    This clearly demonstrated how intelligent her beloved daughter was.


    "This master has been hiding for years, definitely no simple feat. Convincing him that Erik is still alive


    might be tough."


    No sooner had Keh spoken than Sean added, "What''s so hard about that? Sis is a miracle, dealing


    with a little poison is nothing to her. She could revive a dying nt, let alone Erik. And why save him


    after all the bad he''s done? Just to make him spill about the mastermind. So, the boss will buy it and


    will show up for sure."


    "Sean''s got it right," Arabe agreed, "All we need to do is convince them that I''ve revived Erik, but he''s


    still unconscious and hasn''t revealed who''s behind it all. They are bound to send someone to check in,


    and that''s our chance to snag a tail!"


    "Be, you''re a genius," Louisa couldn''t help but praise, "Your little noggin thinks so far ahead, so


    the clock. The other side will think we''re protecting Erik, waiting for him to wake up. It''s natural and


    convincing."


    "Our precious little girl is incredibly smart and outstanding." Keh also expressed his heartfelt joy.


    With this n, it was only a matter of time before they ensnared their adversary.


    "Let''s go with my sis''s n," Hans looked at Arabe with approval and admiration. No matter what


    happened, his sister never panicked.


    "Just one thing." Louisa suddenly expressed concern, "I called Martin earlier and he knows Erik is


    dead. What if, in his desperation to save Serena, he spills to the mastermind?"


    "He doesn''t know who the puppet master is, what we''re up to, or that Erik''s death is actually useful to


    us. So, it''s highly unlikely he''d y that card." Arabe assured her.


    "But what if he does?" Louisa was still worried, ruing her impulsiveness to confront Martin on the spur


    of the moment, risking their wellid ns.


    "What''s the big deal? You called him; I''ll just give him a warning," Sean said, his penchant for boldness


    no secret.
